Melisa, mom of two daughters Emma and Chloe, smiling together in a cozy kitchen atmosphere.

Hi, I’m Melisa 🌿

I’m a food-obsessed mom living in the rolling hills of New York’s Hudson Valley with my husband, our two bright little sunshines—Emma and Chloe—and a kitchen that’s always humming.

A few years ago, life handed us an unexpected twist: gluten could no longer be part of our family table. At first, that felt like saying goodbye to crusty bread, Sunday pancakes, and birthday-cake crumbs. But I refused to let food lose its magic—so I grabbed my apron, swapped wheat for creativity, and started re-imagining every recipe I loved.

Today, Tasty Savvy is where I share those cozy, gluten-free creations with you. Every dish is:

  • Family-approved (Emma’s picky stamp counts)
  • Ready in real-life time—20-minute dinners, one-bowl bakes, no-stress snacks
  • Made with heart—because food should feel like a hug

Whether you’re new to gluten-free living, cooking for someone you love, or just hunting for your next weeknight hero, welcome to our table. Grab a mug, poke around, and if you have questions—or a recipe request—my inbox is always open.

With warmth (and extra sprinkles),
Melisa 💚
